Everything about Hiawatha National Forest totally explained
Hiawatha National Forest is a
National Forest in the
Upper Peninsula of the state of
Michigan in the
United States. Commercial
logging is conducted in some areas. The
United States Forest Service administers this National Forest; it's physically divided into two subunits, commonly called the Eastside and Westside. In descending order of land area it lies in parts of
Chippewa,
Delta,
Mackinac,
Alger,
Schoolcraft, and
Marquette counties. Chippewa and Mackinac counties are in the Eastside, whereas the rest are in the Westside. The smaller Eastside contains about 44% of the forest's area, whereas the larger Westside has about 56%.

Civilian Conservation Corps.
The forest has over 100 miles (160 km) of shoreline. Both east and west units have shoreline on both
Lake Superior and
Lake Michigan; the east unit also has shoreline on
Lake Huron and includes
Round Island and its
lighthouse. The west unit borders
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, which is administered by the
National Park Service, and the
Grand Island National Recreation Area, which is separately administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
Several
lighthouses are located along the shores. The
Point Iroquois Light is operated as a museum. The
North Country Trail passes through the forest.
